Useful resources

Finding reliable information can be one of the biggest challenges for families of children with Additional Learning Needs. With so much information available from different organisations, schools, local authorities and support services, it can often feel difficult to know where to start.

We're currently building a growing library of resources designed to make that journey a little easier.

This section will include practical guides for parents and carers, information from local authorities and support organisations, downloadable resources, educational materials, home learning activities, lesson plans, communication tools and helpful signposting to trusted services.

Our aim is to bring together clear, accessible information in one place, helping families find the guidance, support and resources they need quickly and confidently.

Check back soon as we continue to expand our collection of resources and support materials.
